Title: Why must I be tempted?
Post by: Chuck W on April 01, 2009, 08:39:26 AM
I've missed the '80 XR-7 since I sold it to a buddy of mine.

Visions of a dream unfulfilled and all that lot. 

Now the past week, an 80-82 Tbird has appeared in the neighborhood here by work.  A little rough around the edges, but I'm certain if I were to walk up with cash, it would be mine.
It's black with what looks to be a red interior (which would match the red vinyl 1/2 roof).

Must...resist...do..not...need...4th...car....


I miss my Box Fox :(

Well it's me....and well, me....

If I had better storage (as in on my property and free) I'd pick up another car, but as it is I don't have the room.  I'm not wanting to pay for storage any more.  That's money better spent elsewhere.

Yea, storage would limit me to. I also miss by 78 boxy Monarch.
But I would never be able to find one of those ever again. I always search but they're never there....

Okay Chuck, you've convinced me. You can keep a car in the other half of my shop. Just make sure you leave the keys :evilgrin: .

Just buy it, you probably won't see one for sale again in a long time. I've haven't seen a single 80-82 Cougar for sale around here, and I've been looking for 2 years. :hick:

Well, I think the urge has passed and I was able to resist this time around.
I guess the fact that I'm too figgen busy for a 4th project car was a big factor here...
